I’ve always hated when right before the match they semi-jokingly hit you with “Take it easy on me”. ( then they open with a two pack lol ). That phrase always kinda took me out for a second. Almost felt like sharking. My mind is ready to go to war and it’s like they’re saying “please don’t...

I hear heating it up and pulling out is risky if epoxy was used cause the butt can crack. Also the cue might not roll straight once the new pin is installed. I also hear it’s an easy job. Which one is it? How much should I be paying to take out a 3/8x10 or 5/16x18 pin and installing a 5/16x14...

Looking for a beater that hits good to keep in the trunk in case I end up at a dive bar. Don’t wanna take my nice cues out near drinkers anymore. Doesn’t have to be wrapless but must be 5/16x14 cant be black cant be loaded and cant have a steel collar. What comes to mind? Not looking for a true...

I’m flying out of state next month to play 10b, 3 sets on a barbox ( diamond ), 3k a set, races to 15. I’m the favorite on paper ( fargo ) but I haven’t been playing. The problem is I only have a 9’ diamond at my place and the closest diamond barbox to me is 40 min away. The break is obviously...

Some big-mouth wanna-be road player rolls in after a big tourney and asks who won. Only 15 people left in the room. He tells the winner chilling in a chair I’m 570, you’re 693?, I’ll play you 10 ball race to 7 even you just have to make the money balls left handed. That’s the handicap. The...

This sober “nice guy” talks to his buddy nonstop every time I’m at the table. Discusses the game and what he should have done. I can hear him clearly. Feels unintentional. Occasionally moves his head right before I shoot the key ball. Friend of a bud and feels unintentional, hard to tell if it’s...

L-drill:

I was asked to train a league level 1 player who couldn’t win a match. The lady who showed up looked like she’s been playing for 2 weeks total. Complete beginner. We went over fundamentals from scratch, bridge hand, stroke, mental game, alignment, stance, aiming system.. She listened carefully...

Used, high-end case, real leather. SOLD

Great condition. Located in Los Angeles. Red label converted to Blue label by Sal Butera, a pro player ( rails, etc ). *Correction, just spoke to the previous owner Sal, the table was converted by Glen Hancock “The real king cobra” NOT by Sal Butera. Glen is a pro mechanic from what I heard...

I was just up 3-0, then after his 2 pack I ran & missed the money ball and he flipped the switch. Felt like playing the ghost after that. I haven’t had an issue with money balls in years usually fire them in. But this feeling hit out of nowhere: a super easy shot looked and felt DIFFICULT...

Great condition. $6200 for the lot. Table is in Los Angeles.

Barbox 8B BCA rules, hill hill, 20K in the middle. Your opponent is a 664 Fargo. You’re solids and you got bih. Do you: A) 7 in the side to break up the 8B, make the 1 and run out B) 6,4,5,1 ( or 2 ) then safety on the 2 ( or 1 ) C) Run out by playing short position on the 8B D) Other

Tourney organizers texted me and asked me not to come back cause I won the tourney 17 times out of 21 according to them ( had no idea they kept track ). I know I'm supposed to feel honored for being kicked out for being too good but I'm pissed. The wording implied I was a piece of sht for...

Last night at a scotch tourney I accidentally played an entire game with my break cue. People kept telling me my tip sounds weird.

My eyesight is terrible. Without my glasses I can't tell a man from a woman from 5 feet away. Well just for kicks I tried shooting without my glasses on my home 9' diamond. I was expecting to miss by a mile. I was SHOCKED that I played nearly my speed without glasses. I couldn't really see the...

None of my 60-80 games I played in Vegas last month got reported to Fargo. Fargo said they are still waiting to get the scores from CSI, CSI said they’ll look into it and that was the end of it. It’s been over a month. Curious if it’s just me or everyone?

Walked away with 6K on Friday, it was a rematch. The 1st set was for 1k in the middle, I won that one hill hill. Not everybody here played for that much, thought I’d share in case anyone is curious or has questions comments. *My biggest fear was that I was gonna get too sleepy ( match was...

Bought it used and the idiot manufacturer is refusing to answer cause he said I didn’t buy it directly from him. Any idea? I have it set up for one cue but need another bumper for the 2nd cue.

I remember I felt something when I broke and ran 10-ball on a 9’ with 4” pockets for the first time. But I still felt like I sucked cause I lost sets all the time. Few years later I ended up at an after hours pool room and stumbled on two players I admired ( I considered them monsters at the...
